Auctioneer and Appraiser ~*~ Woolworth Building 
NEW YORK 


NEW YORK CITY 


ENGRAVED AND PRINTED BY THE KALKHOFF COMPANY 


INTRODUCTION 


=——=F1 EK late Daniel S. Miller as a connoisseur took all art for 
/ his province. Like his father before him he was 
the born collector. He was one of the strain of old 
New Yorkers who sought fortune in the West and 
found it. The brother-in-law of the late Jay Gould 
and the intimate of financiers, Mr. Miller was a 
man of affairs, deeply interested in every phase of life. His latter 


_ years were spent much in retirement. Although he lived alone 


except for his servants in his spacious suite for two decades and 
a half, he lacked not for company, for he was surrounded by a thou- 
sand and one familiars of his leisure. He assembled about him works 
of all periods because his was a nature which saw art in many facets. 
He had breathed the atmosphere of the dim past of Cipango and 
Cathay in the gathering of the porcelains from the ancient dynasties, 
the flawless vases of rock crystal, exquisite sculptures of the royal 
jade and ivories from the hands of master craftsmen of the Orient. 
How rich a store of precious things he had, none except him really 
knew. Only when the inventory of his collection was made was the true 
extent of it known. His rooms were so crowded that many rare and 
important objects were lost to view. Wases of Sevre were huddled 
together at the hearth; dark corners revealed charming water colors, 
and here and there disposed as though they had been forgotten were 
veritable gems of artistry. His collection proved indeed a treasure- 
trove. Where there is so much it is no easy task to dwell upon special 
excellence. The paintings are of many schools. ‘The strong and virile 
art of French military painters, soft toned canvases of the modern 
Dutch masters and the finest works of leading American artists may 
here be seen. Limoges enamels, miniatures, enamels, faience, carv- 
ings, enriched his cabinets at every turn. The library, which was Mr. 
Miller’s joy, was composed of many volumes rich both within and 
without. Their bindings, from the ateliers of such masters of their 
eraft as Sangorski and Riviere, are poems in jewels and tooled levant. 
Many of the choicest volumes were from the M. C. D. Borden collec- 


tion. The presenting of this collection for the view of an art-loving 
public has been a pleasing occupation. Its installation at the Hotel 
Savoy in the grand ballroom and the adjacent suite of ten rooms, in 
accordance with an entirely original method, is an interpretation as 
near as the conditions of exhibition permit of the personality of its 
late owner. The dispersal of the collection introduces a new factor 
in the art world, Mr. Samuel Marx, for twenty-five years an appraiser 
of the personalty of large estates, who now enters a new and broader 
field. ‘The preparation of the catalogue has been to us rather a 
fascinating voyage of discovery than a task. The paintings have been 


described by William B. McCormick, the jades and crystal by Ralph 


M. Chait and the balance by George A. Smyth and other experts. 
Every care has been exercised in determining the authenticity of the 
various objects. 


JOHN W. HARRINGTON. 


CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer, if, in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale

two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale 
the lot so in dispute. 


3. Intending purchasers may make arrangements regarding deposits and ship 
ment at the Hotel Savoy, administrative office of the auctioneer. 


4, ‘Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while.

prejudice to the right of the auctioneer to enforce the contract made at this sale, 
without such re-sale if he thinks fit. 


6. While the undersigned will not hold himself responsible for the correctness 
of the description, genuineness or authenticity of, or any fault or defect in any lot, 
and make no warranty whatever, he will, upon receiving previous to date of sale 
trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting or other Work of Art is not 
what it is represented to be, use every effort on his part to furnish proof to the 
contrary; failing in which, the object or objects in question will be sold subject 
to the declaration of the aforesaid expert, he being liable to the owner or owners 
thereof for damage or injury occasioned thereby. 


7. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the settlement of

days from the date of. the sale. No exceptions will be made to this rule. 

12. Buying or bidding by the auctioneer for responsible parties on orders trans- 
mitted to him by mail, telegraph or telephone will be faithfully attended to without 
charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above conditions 
of sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. 

13. Orders for execution by the auctioneer should be written and given with, — 
such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot 
number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for 
the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more pieces the bid per piece should also 
be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the auctioneer, a deposit 
should be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given.

IVORIES, MINIATURES, AND ENAMELS 
PREFATORY NOTE. 


The writing of a brief review of the European and Oriental — 
carved ivories, French Limoges enamels and miniatures painted on 
ivories by celebrated artists of past and modern schools, is really an 
overwhelming: task. 

The ensemble presents the untiring efforts of the late owner, 
who was a very ardent collector of discriminating taste. The repre- 
sentative collection of carved ivories presents the workmanship of the 
Oriental and Occidental craftsmen of the past ages, and of them 
many are the masterpieces of the most renowned artists, whose signa- 
tures appear on them. 

The Nurenberg carved ivory tankard mounted in repoussé silver, 
the Renaissance presentation cups embellished with jewel and orna- 
ment and others, the German group embellished with silver gilt orna- 
‘mentation and mounted upon crystal bases, likewise the Japanese 
intricately carved figures, groups and tankards, have been the cherished 
treasures of many generations. 

Among the miniatures will be found portraits of noted men and 
women, painted by the very best artists of their time. 

Of the Limoges enamels I would say that the conception of 
design, the harmonious treatment and decoration make them 
masterpieces. _ 

In conclusion, it may be said that so fine a gathering of such 
objects of art has not been offered for sale in recent years. This is 
an opportune moment for collectors and connoisseurs to acquire unique 
specimens.

years have the hidden beauties of Mr. Miller’s literary retreat been 
revealed. In a dark cabinet, for instance, were found what biblio- 
-philes declare to be the most ornate copy of Williamson’s ‘The 
History of Portrait Miniatures” extant—a princely work in two 
volumes. From each of its red levant covers appear seventeen 
exquisite miniatures, the entire number of inserted medallions being 
sixty-eight. It was once owned by McD. Borden. 

The Muller library contains many works as notable as the 
Wilhamson volumes. Among others set with miniatures are Walter 
Pater’s “Renaissance,” with a portrait of Mona Lisa on the cover, 
and “An Inquiry Into the Portraits of Shakespeare,’ which is 
adorned with numerous likenesses of the bard, painted on the ivory. 
A Constable edition of the plays of Shakespeare, in forty volumes, 
is also ornamented with miniatures. 

Among the artists who wrought in leather and gold and gems 
to create the beautiful jewelled bindings of this collection were 
Sangorski, Riviere, Tranz-Bugonnet, Pagnant and Adams. 

Mr. Miller had from boyhood been devoted to good hterature, 

and when wealth gave him the opportunity to follow a refined and 
cultivated taste, he took delight in volumes which were the appro- 
priate settings of his literary treasures. 
-__ _ He was especially fond of the beautiful illuminated manuscripts 
of Keats’s “Ode to Psyche,” and 'Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott.”’ 
Sitting in his carved Empire chair, near a massive bookcase, which 
was such a resource to him, we see him reading the quatrains of the 
-~“Rubaiyat” from a tiny book, the cover of which sparkles with the 
amethysts in the form of the purple grapes, of which the Persian 
-tent-maker sang. | : 

Mr. Miller, therefore, delighted to have volumes in elegant bind- 
ings, decked with exquisite miniatures and precious stones; to have 
books extra-illustrated and illuminated in gold and colors; to have 
the best and most complete de luxe editions of the writings of the 
world’s great authors, splendidly printed and bound; to have in 
book form the finest reproductions of great works of art: in fact, 
his aim was not to have a large library, but that everything he owned 
should be in keeping with his ideals. 

Such is the library described in this catalogue.

fully equal if not surpassing in effect some of the finest examples of XIVth 


and XVth Century Illuminated Manuscripts. 

The title-page contains a delicately painted double border of flowers heightened with solid 
gold, surrounding a half-length Miniature Portrait of the Poet. The frontispiece Miniature 
portrays Psyche, half draped, surrounded by four Cupids, all within a lovely border, painted 
in rich colors, and heightened with solid gold. Another Miniature depicts Puck and Cupid in 
a forest dell, painted in the most exquisite shades. 

The poem “Hope” is preceded by an elaborate Miniature of a young Mother and Babe, 
within a border of exceptional beauty. The verse beginning with— 

“Then by my solitary hearth I sit, 

And hateful thoughts enwrap my soul,” 
is followed by a charming Miniature’of a young girl seated before an open fire-place, the full 
light shining into her beautiful face. There are several other large Miniatures, one depicting 
a Cottage Scene with four pretty figures in the foreground. Another illustrates— 

“Whose lip mature is ever new-—” 
by a Miniature of a charming young maiden with superb Titian hair, painted with great 
brilliancy. 

The last Miniature illustrates— 

“Let the winged fancy roam 
Pleasure never is at home” 


by a splendid Miniature depicting four young maidens dancing outdoors. 

The Manuscript is bound in blue levant morocco, with blue levant doublures, flies of watered- 
silk; the covers and doublures (four distinct designs) most elaborately decorated with inlays 
and gold tooling. The design of the binding is floral in character, the covers being divided into 
spaces of artistic shapes and filled with a conventionalized treatment of a variety of floral 
designs. 

Front Cover: Center comprised of a heart-shaped sunken panel, within this a smaller heart 
surrounding a pheasant, exquisitely done in high relief and beautifully colored, the intervening 
spaces of the panel gold-tooled in pointillé, heightened with numerous inlays of flowers, and 
two flaming torches, all beautifully worked in green, red, brown, purple and white moroccos; 
the remaining spaces literally covered with gold pointillé and floral inlays within laced borders 
the whole consisting of several hundred distinct pieces of leather, forming-a combination of © 
the most artistic beauty. 

Back Cover: This consists of two sunken panels, the first enclosing a chained anchor worked 
in blue and red moroccos, the outer border with a combination of opened flowers, leaves, and 
three butterflies, inlaid in vari-colored moroccos of beautiful shades, the background of 
pointillé, forming an almost solid mass of gold, the remaining spaces decorated with designs 
similar to those on the front cover. 

The doublures are formed of an arabesque design of cream-colored morocco within another 
compartment of blue morocco, the whole covered with an exquisite design, the center one con- 
sisting of a Lyre and Trumpet and Wreath within a circular floral border of green and red 
moroccos, the remaining spaces filled with pointillé, floral inlays of indifferent shades, all 
richly gold-tooled. The doublure of the back cover consists of a similar design except that the 
center piece decoration is a flaming torch above two hearts of red morocco, entwined with a 
ribbon of blue morocco, the remaining spaces very richly gold-tooled. Flies of watered-silk, 
gilt edges; by Riviere.

an integral part of the design and accentuate its beauty. The back cover 

with a wide outside border with a fanfare design inlaid in green, red, 

yellow, and light blue levant and gold-tooled, a diamond-shaped sunken 

_ panel in the center with interlacing bands of light blue, maroon and dark 

green on a ground of solid gold pointillé, framed in a formal diaper of red, 

blue and green morocco, and gold-tooled, and ornamented with garnets and

~The masterpiece of the late Francis Sangorski, being the last volume from 

his designs, and upon which he was engaged at the time of his lamented death. 

_ This magnificent example of all that is splendid in the art of book-binding 

contains 228 jewels and 2,500 inlays of colored levants. The jewels are as 

follows: 14 diamonds, 12 sapphires, 32 chalcedonies, 43 turquoises, 76 
- topazes, 17 marquise garnets, 14 smaller garnets, and 2 tourmalines. 

The design of the whole binding is Moresque in character and possesses all 
_the richness of color, intricacy of line, and concentration of ornament that 
one associates with the best period of this type of decoration. There is 
involved in the execution of this binding more time and care than has ever 
been expended on the covers of a book, and whatever fad or fashion may 
obtain in the future history of book-binding; this volume must ever remain

Manuscript in Splendid Jewelled Binding. 


MILTON (Jonn). L’AtiecGro anp It PENserRoso. A Manuscript, ExecurTep 

By Messrs. Sancorski & SUTCLIFFE. 

Manuscript written out on vellum and elaborately illuminated with miniatures, 
borders, and capitals in color and raised gold. 

Both poems are symbolized in the decoration of the binding. This is in 
brown levant, with leather joints, blue levant doublures and fly leaves, and with 
the whole elaborately inlaid, gold-tooled, and set with 12 amethysts, 12 turquoises, 
16 garnets, 8 moonstones, 12 chalcedonies, a ruby, and a number of pieces of Mother 
of Pearl, in all, 61 Prectous SToneEs. 

The design of the front cover is an interpretation of the poem “L’Allegro,” 
both in color and detail suggesting the joy and gladness, and the pleasure of 
gaiety and mirth depicted in this poem; birds, butterflies, and bees being shown 
amongst a wealth of roses and other floral decoration. 

In contrast to this the back cover is suggestive of the poem “Il Penseroso.” 
As the poet himself has interpreted with lyrical perfection of symbolic expression 
the twofold ideas of light and darkness, joy and sorrow, gaiety and contemplation, 
so the binder has endeavored himself in contrasting the decoration of the front 
and back cover to represent the same ideas. ‘The back cover is sombre in tone, 
and night is suggested by a little moonlight scene, an owl being a prominent 
feature, and a bat is decoratively displayed in each corner. 

The design of this binding is entirely original and 1330 SEPARATE PIECES OF 
INLAY ARE USED.

Jewelled ‘‘Romantique’”’ Binding By Sangorski & Sutcliffe. 
QUARLES (Francis). Emblems. Illustrated by Charles Bennett and W. Harry 


Rogers. 8vo., in a Supers “RomMantiQue” Brnpina, described below. London, 

1861. In morocco case. 1 volume. 

Most elaborately bound in full crushed brown levant morocco with leather 
joints, green levant doublures, and silk fly-leaves with both covers, doublures 
and fly-leaves elaborately inlaid, gold-tooled, and set with fire opals, garnets, 
chalcedonies and a turquoise, ae with clasps jewelled with sapphires and 
gilt edges, tooled and hand colored. 

The design of the whole binding is emblematic in character. In an oblong 
panel sunk slightly below the surface of the front cover appears a golden 
orb (suggestive of the Sovereignty of Christ), embossed and richly jewelled 
with garnets, chalcedonies and a turquoise. ‘This is surmounted by a 
wreath of thorns (suggestive of the Crucifixion), inlaid in black upon 
a closely studded gold ground, and is surmounted by a Dove (repre- 
senting the Holy Spirit), modelled in high relief. In the lower 
part of the panel is an hour glass, surmounted by a pair of wings, the, 
whole modelled in high relief, and suggestive of the Flight of Time. The 
background of the panel is decorated with the Vine (symbolical of the 
Blood of Christ), the leaves of which are inlaid in gold and the grapes 
in purple, appearing on a closely studded gold background. 

This central oblong panel is surrounded by a floral border, showing a deco- 
rative treatment of the Privet (suggestive of Everlasting Life), the berries 
of which are inlaid in red and the whole of the border is inlaid in blue. 

The central feature of the back cover is a conventional representation of a 
Phoenix appearing amidst flames and surrounded by 16 fire opals, and 
encircled with a wreath of butterflies. This whole device is emblematical

of Everlasting Life, Immortality of the Soul, and the Resurrection. It 
is surrounded by a rose design, the flowers of which are inlaid in white, 
and the leaves in green and the whole is enclosed by a border of dead rose 
stalks decoratively arranged and inlaid in purple. The contrasting ele- 
ments of this design: The living rose, with its vigorous growth and wealth 
of bloom and the dead entanglement of stalks, is suggestive of Life and 
Death. 

A number of emblematical devices also appear on the front doublure. In the 
centre appears a Cross inlaid in brown, and with the crown of thorns and 
the three nails represented, the whole suggesting the Crucifixion. This 
is enclosed by a border showing a decorative arrangement of peacock 
feathers (suggestive of vanity and pride), with a Dove in each corner 
(the Holy Spirit) and White Lilies (Purity) in circular panels inset into 
the border, this border being enclosed within bands of interlaced strap- _ 
work, inlaid in blue. Butterflies, hearts, and a Spiritual Crown are also 
introduced into the decoration of this doublure. 

A similar border encloses the back doublure, but with a winged Scarabeus, 
emblematical of Eternal Life in each corner. A symbolical device appears 
in the center, composed of a sword and scales surrounded by Lilies rep- 
resenting Purity and Justice. 


The fly-leaves are richly tooled with a diaper design composed of flowers and 


small hearts. 

The panels on the back are decorated with a rose design and with a butterfly 
and Spiritual Crown, alternately. 

SEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX SEPARATE PIECES OF INLAY ARE USED IN THE 
DECORATION OF THIS BINDING, AND OVER 22,000 DOTS ARE TOOLED IN GOLD 
ON THE FRONT COVER ALONE. 

The designs of both covers and doublures are original, and have never been 
used before.

Magnificent Illuminated Manuscript. 


TENNYSON (Atrrep Lorp). Some Porms sy Atrrep Lorp Tennyson. Manvu- 
script Executep By Messrs. Sancorski & SUTCLIFFE. 

For more than 40 years Tennyson remained at the head of modern poetry. All 
subjects in his time he has touched in a poetical and enlightened manner. 
His feeling for nature is accurate, loving and of wide range. His human 
sympathy appeals to everyone; he makes true song and has excelled in 
pure Idyll. In lyrical measures he is effective and original. These 
selections of his poetry are written out on vellum and richly illuminated 
in a manner affording a fitting tribute to the great Poet of the Victorian era. 

These poems selected are “THE DAY DREAM,” “SIR GALAHAD,” and 
“LADY CLARE,” and comprise 52 illuminated pages, all of which are 
illustrated with miniatures. These miniatures have been specially composed 
for this book and are entirely original. The “DAY DREAM” in partic- 
ular affords splendid scope for the imagination of the artist. The Sleeping 
Palace is decoratively depicted in an initial miniature, rich in color, with 
delicately painted marble steps and pillars, with the “peacock asleep in 
its laurel bower” and the still fountain in the background. 

“THE SLEEPING BEAUTY” is next illustrated. In these three verses we 
have the perfect expression of Tennyson’s lyrical power. His artistic 
shaping of verse charms the ear with the delicate cadence of lines which 
are full of wondrous beauty and color. The panel miniature painting is. 
illustrative of: 


“She sleeps: her breathings are not heard 
In palace chambers far apart. 
The fragrant tresses are not stirr’d 
That lie upon her charmed heart.” 
The next miniature represents the arrival of the Prince, illustrative of the 
following lines: 


“He travels far from other skies— 
His mantle glitters on the rocks— 
A fairy Prince, with joyful eyes, 
And lighter-footed than the fox.”

“The Revival” opens with a beautiful panel picture of the awakened king 
seated at the banquet board, interpreted by the lines: 


“And last with these the king awoke 
And in his chair himself uprear’d 
And yawned, and rubb’d his face, and spoke 
‘By holy rood, a joyful beard’ 
How say you? We have slept my lords.” 


The concluding miniature of this poem represents “The Departure,’ a panel 
picture of an imaginative landscape showing the Prince and Princess leay- 
ing the Palace; painted with a depth of tender expression. 


“And on her lover’s arm she leant 
And round her waist she felt it fold 

And far across the hills they went 
In that new world which is the old.” 


The poem “SIR GALAHAD?” is illustrated by a full-page miniature painting 
of the Knight riding to combat, armour clad, and lance in hand, gorgeously 
apparelled with the plumes upon his helm flying in the breeze, illustrating 
the splendor and power of these lines: 


“My good blade carves the casques of men, 
My tough lance thrusteth sure, 
My strength is as the strength of ten, 
Because my heart is pure.” 


“LADY CLARE” is a lyrical poem, simple in its lines, and is illustrated by a 
large oval miniature painting illustrating the following lines: 


“It was the time when lilies blow, 
And clouds are highest up in air, 
Lord Ronald brought a lily-white doe 
To give his cousin, Lady Clare.” 


The book is bound in green levant morocco, with leather joints, buff colored 
doublures and brown levant fly-leaves and with covers, doublures and fly- 
leaves elaborately inlaid and gold-tooled and embellished with 280 jewels, 
These comprise: 


20 diamonds. 12 sapphires. 

51 topazes. 1 small sapphire. 
80 garnets. 27 amethysts. 

20 marquise garnets. 16 fire opals. 

31 green chalcedonies. 4 Australian opals. 
8 pale blue chalcedonies and 5 rubies. 5. pearls. 


‘Two thousand and seven hundred inlays are employed in the decoration of 
this binding. The designs have been specially prepared for the book, are 
entirely original and will not be used again. They are symbolical in 
character. An endeavor has been made to suggest in a subtle manner the 
three poems in the book. 

The dominant feature of the front cover is a symbolism of the Holy Grail; this 
is surrounded by lilies, each occupying the remainder of the panel. The 
flowers are slightly modelled in relief and suggest the purity of “THE 
QUEST.” They also remind one of the lines in “LADY CLARE”: 


“Tt was the time when lilies blow.’’ 


104 


The Sleeping Palace is dedicated to “LADY CLARE,” Goddess of flowers 
and of spring. This is suggested by the richly colored floral design that 
occupies the central portion of the back cover. Floral borders inlaid and 
‘Closely stopped in surround these panels on each cover. 

The decoration of the doublures is depicted by the Poem “THE SLEEPING 
PALACE.” The front one represents the Palace asleep and the back one 
“The Awakening.” In an oval panel sunk slightly below ihe surface, the 
Sleeping Palace is suggested by “the peacock asleep in its laurel bower,” 
the suggestion of the still fountain and the garden overgrown with bramble. 
The Peacock is richly jewelled, the crest being formed by pearls, the eye 
by a ruby, and topazes represent the eyes of the feathers in the tail. 

In the back doublure is a suggestion of the Palace awake, birds are singing 
amongst the foliage, bees and butterflies add to the scene of animation and 

< the fountain is seen playing. Both of these panels are surrounded by 
richly inlaid foliage. | | 

Flowers ornament both fly-leaves, the monogram of the Poet occupies the center 
of the front one surrounded by the laurel wreath, and a foliated heart the 

center of the back fly-leaf. 

Work on this book was started in the early part of 1912 and completed the 

- 81st day of March, 1914.

THE MILLER PAINTINGS. 


The distinctive feature of the collection of paintings left by 
Mr. Miller is the fine group of examples of the modern Dutch and 
French schools. ‘This first-named division of his collection includes — 
canvases by the great figures in modern Dutch art, Blommers, Kever, 
De Bock and Pieters, and paintings and water colors by men who, 
while not so well known, have much to say for themselves through 
the superb qualities of their technique. 

On the same level with these paintings is the group of modern 
French paintings. Its range is naturally wider, and includes exam- 
ples of such widely diversified painters as Fantin-Latour, Boudin, 
Zandomeneghi, Monticelli, Bouguereau, Henner, Marie Doieterle, 
Antoine Vollon, Lerolle; also the military painters, Berne-Bellecour, 
Grolleron and Chelminski, a Pole inspired by Gallic influences, and 
that favorite American painter who has lived so long in France as to 
be one of its school, Ridgway Knight. 

Unlike most American collectors, Mr. Miller devoted less atten- 
tion to the native school than is usual nowadays. With the exception 
of the two Harts among his pictures, these being wholly characteristic 
examples of the Hudson River School, now gradually coming back 
into a better state of appreciation among our amateurs of native art, 
he had few of them. And these, curiously enough, are all by men 
who had or have lived so long abroad as to be looked upon almost as 
strangers to their native land. 

This, at least, showed an uncommon consistency on Mr. Miller’ S 
part; for, since these men wholly paint in the school of the country 
in which they are domiciled, they are foreigners in their art, at least, 
and it was to European art that this collector was devoted. That is 
probably why he acquired a Boughton, because it was British in feel- 
ing; a McEwen, because his canvas was of the older Dutch manner; 
a Pearce, because it was French. Patriotism has so little to do with 
art collecting that it is rather refreshing to see, here, an amateur’s 
collection that represents freedom from that spirit. 

In all of these schools intending purchasers will find exam- 
ples that are not only thoroughly artistic but have a pictorial interest 
as well. Mr. Miller bought his pictures to live with and, when all is 
said and done, that is the supreme demand of any picture bought to 
adorn a home. So it is that in all the other schools and painters rep- 
resented, this quality is the predominating one. And among the 
smaller pictures there is not one that does not hold its own reward 
of artistic quality, decorative charm and anecdotal interest which will 
make it a future treasured possession.

of this delightful Amer-

of an old garden in his

JADES, CRYSTALS AND CHINESE PORCELAINS 
PREFATORY NOTE. 


It may be said without the slightest hesitation that this is the 
finest assemblage of jades, crystals and other hard stones ever offered 
for sale in the United States. 


There are very few collections of this kind, and the supply of 
fine pieces of jades and crystals decreases from day to day. 


The collection as herein catalogued is of the finest possible qual- 
ity in form, color and technique. 


Mention may be made of the large Rock Crystal Palace Vase, 
the superb Rose Pink Quartz Vases, with their original covers, which 
are masterpieces of the Chinese craftsmen of past ages. 


The Emerald Green Jade Screen, the Crystal Balls, and the 
very unusual Mandarin Amber and Jade Necklace—in fact the 
entire ensemble is so fine in quality, conception and of artistic merit, — 
that the pen cannot do it justice. | 


Among the snuff bottles will be found distinctive examples used 
by the most fastidious princes and mandarins of China. 


The amber specimens are unsurpassable. 


The Chinese and Japanese porcelains, though not all antique, 
will be found in good forms and colors, especially some of the mono- 
chromes, which are represented by apple-green, coral-red and fine 
blues; the polychromes are likewise very fine, with happy shapes and 
charming decorations in famille-verte and famille-rose enamels. 


Therefore such a gathering of so many cherished treasures 
should be of more than passing interest for the collectors and con- 
noisseurs.

Height, 12 inches; width, 18% inches. 


In an opening between two clumps of trees, and beyond a rich, 
green meadow, lies a pool lit with the reflection of the sinking sun. 
The luminary has dropped below the horizon, but the sky is still 
glorious with scarlet and yellow clouds, above which floats a darker 
expanse touched by the shadow of the oncoming night. In the fore- 
ground are some fowls, and the figure of a man at the left. 


Signed at the lower left, Geo. Inness.

HENRI J. T. FANTIN-LATOUR. 
Frencu: 1836-1904. 
INSPIRATION. 

Height, 24 inches; width, 29% inches. 


A. decorative symbolical study characteristic of Fantin. On a 
height, rising above a broad plain, are seated two figures. The 
golden-haired woman who typifies Inspiration is on the crest of the 
slope, while at her feet is the artist, with pencil poised above a sketch- 
ing block. The figure of the title is draped only to the waist in filmy 
red, and her golden hair, bound with flowers, hangs down her back. 
The artist wears a black costume and looks up eagerly to the figure 
above. Dramatic, portentous clouds sweep across the sky behind 
the figures and over the plain. 

Signed at the lower left, Fanton. 

Purchased from C. W. Kraushaar.

. \ i Picking FLOWERS. 
fy MA A 


Height, 35 inches; width, 43 inches. 


The modern Dutch genre school is brilliantly represented in 
this charming picture of happy childhood and the rich beauty of the 
native landscape. In a meadow by a little pool two girls and a boy 
are engaged in picking the gayly colored wild flowers of the coun- 
tryside. The boy has his back to the spectator and is evidently still 
plucking the blossoms. At his left is the seated figure of a young 
girl making a nosegay of the plucked flowers in her lap, while stand- 
ing behind her is a little girl holding her flowers in the hollow of her 
left arm. The sunlight falls on the flaxen heads of the children 
in high lights and on their shoulders. Through a vista formed by 
clumps of trees at the left and right of the picture is seen a broad. 
low-lying meadow with barns dotting it, and a humid rose-and-blue 
sky hangs over this distant prospect.

Bi Armed with her long- 
,, Of handled bait spade and wat- 

tled basket, a French peas- 
ant woman stands on the 
beach at low tide resting for 
a moment before she begins 
work. The artist’s interest 
z in the woman as a subject 
-__-was clearly in her wind-red- 
dened face and the soft hues 
3 of her time-worn yellow 
Bee's - skirt, red bodice and blue 

waist. The threatening sky 
behind her strong head and 
figure is an elemental fea-— 
ture of the canvas.
